The Foraminifera of the Thanet beds of pegwell bay

Abstract

P•575• .. In the Monograph Crag Forarn., pt. iii, Pal. Soc., 1896, p. 218, the allocation of this species to the Thanet Sands is considered doubtful.

A Palaeocene Foraminiferal assemblage from Halesworth, Suffolk

“…Pioneer microfaunal work on British Thanetian deposits was by Burrows & Holland (1897), who recognized 34 species of Foraminiferida. It may be that this faunal variation is due to differential weathering and decalcification, since many of the forms preserved in Borehole 3 possess tests with a siliceous cement unlikely to be affected by the chemical activities of acidic percolating waters.…”
